    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts
  • Evening all.

    Came in from work an hour ago quite stressed, fancied a wine but ignored it and just feel knackered now.

    7 for Jan and 2 for the SNC please xx

    One for the SNC and 5/13 for me please.

    I'm glad I didn't use last night as an excuse to drink the rest of the week now I've 'ruined' things.

    Morning All!!

    I'm all for supporting him but has he always buys enough wine so he won't run out i'm concerned that there will be some leftover from tuesday/thursday. I'll just have to wait and see i guess.

    MrsR xx

    Hi MrsR, I have a suggestion if he uses leftover wine as an excuse. Pubs (and here at the Bee Hive) :) we have a vac--u-vin wine saver which takes the air out and stops that leftover wine going off. Unfortunately it doesn't come with a timer delay - that would be great, you could set it in the morning when you feel strong - maybe we should pitch it to the dragons! We have been known to freeze wine too, and then defrost for cooking. But generally OH and I drink it before that point...

    I think that there's a bit of both as far as your other question is concerned. I think I knew we both drink too much, and the more restrained I am the more I notice how much he is drinking. Plus I think it has made my heavy drinking seem more normal as there's two of us. I find it harder if he is drinking to be AF but he's trying to support me by joining in my planned AFDs. Having said that when I caved and ordered wine last night he switched from Coke to wine in a flash and was obviously pleased.

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I was up half the night after too much wine yesterday! VV Tired. Sleep well everyone.

    Hi Bearacus - please could I be down for the SNC. I was planning to do 4 and I've managed 1 so far.

    Thanks!
